BAILING- PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 419,646, dated January 21, 1890.

Application filed February 9, I889. Serial No. 299,227. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Loudonville, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My improvements relate to that class of presses for which Letters Patent were granted to me October 29, 1872, Nos. 132,566 and 132,639, and the various modifications of the same, for which Letters Patent have since been granted to me, particularly No. 269,566, December 26, 1882, and No.152,084, June 16, 1874, and in this instance relate to the construction of the box or case, to one end of which the pressing-power is fulcrnmed and within which the pressing operation is performed.

Heretofore such balingcases have been constructed chiefly of wood, bolted together and set up in sections or parts,whereas I now construct aplate steel or iron tube flanged or bent at the edges or corners in order to secure the greatest strength and rigidity with the least amount of metal.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a press constructed in accordance with my invention and adapted to a horizontally-operating power, as shown in Patent No. 269,566, referred to. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a press having a power device vibrated perpendicularly, as in Patent No. 152,084, referred to,showing the applica tion of my invention thereto. Fig. 3 is asectional View taken on the line as :0, Fig. 1; and Figs. 4: and 5 views of a modification of the press-sides.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures indicate the same parts.

In Fig. 1, A represents the top of the case or tube, and B the bottom, both of which are flanged at each edge, as at C O C 0,,thereby forming a top and bottom to the bale-chamber stiff enough to resist the outwardlyexpansive force of the pressed material passing through it as well as forming a guide for the same, and also stifiening the projecting ends D D, so as to form a suitable connection and sup- .attachment of the or near their extremity, as shown. This port to the power of the press, secured at flanged top and bottom also renders the press- 1 tube stiff enough to be mounted and operated 011 axles supporting each extremity only. These flanged top and bottom plates are connected together by and firmly secured to the side plates E, thus forming a rigid tube or case. either forged or built out, as shown at F in Figs. 1 and 3, or at F in Fig. 4; or they may be slotted and a heavy band arched outwardly over the slot, as shown in Fig. 5, so as to form a connection between the top and bottom and allow play for the pitman within /he arch, thus securing a firm connection between top A and bottomB much nearer the point of power to the projecting ends D D and correspondingly increasing their rigidity. By this construction I am enabled to so economize in the weightof metal as to secure the requisite strength and rigidity with less than two-thirds the weight as compared with wood, and also actually making a saving in cost. The power in this instance is secured to the projecting ends D D by being secured on the shaft G, which passes through the top and bottom plates, as shown, and is clamped or otherwise firmly The said sides E are archedthat is,

secured by means of boxes or castings firmly secured to said top and bottom plates.

H is the feed-orifice through which the material to be baled is fed.

I is a roller pivoted to firm projections from the case and under which roller the material overlapping the traverser is forced. The sides at the discharge end are closed by solid cast plates K, thus cheapening the cost of the construction. They are grooved, as shown at K, to pass the and secured and adjusted to produce more or less friction by bands connecting them around the press top and bottom, as shown, so that the discharge end may be adjusted simultaneously on all four sides, if desired.

Partition-followers for passing the bands, retainers for retaining the pressed material, a hopper for receiving the material, and other well-known appliances common to this class of presses and described in the patents referred to may be applied to the press de scribed herein.

power is secured; E, the top'and bottomplates arched at F to give room for the vibration of the pitman or toggle.

G are the power -pivotssecured to the power end of the extended sides A B, and on which the crank-Wheels or other power devices are located, and the arched sides E or v the arches F of the top may be continued up to and over the power in this case, if desired; or the power-plates secured to the sides may be connected around over the power, as shown at- PP. Any style of power device may be fulcrumed to the ends D D (shown in Fig. 1) with like results.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a baling-press, the longitudinal metal plates having the power-fulcrum secured to one end thereof and provided with the inwardly -turned flanges to strengthen and stiffen them, and also to produce additional friction upon and guide the column of pressed material as it is forced through the press, in

combination with the metal plates connecting said flanged plates, substantially as described. v

2. In a baling-press, the combination, with the longitudinal metal plates having the power-fulcrum secured to one end thereof and provided with the inwardly-turned flanges, as described, of the metal side plates bolted on or otherwise secured to the longitudinal flanged plates and arched, as at F, to accommodate the pitman, substantially as described.

3. In a baling-press, the combination, with the longitudinal metal plates having the power-fulcrum secured to one end thereof and provided with the inwardly -turned flanges, of the metal side plates, and the castings and adjusting devices at the discharge end, substantially as described.

4. The combination, With the longitudinal flanged top and bottom plates, of the side plates riveted to said flanged plates and having the extensions or ears constituting the bearings for the roller, substantially as described.

5. In a balingpress of the character de- PETER KI DEDERICK.
